Getting it off the car is the hard part. If you don't have access to a press just burn the old bushings out, the new bushings can be pressed in using a piece of threaded rod and a couple of washers and nuts.

This is where I'm with this. The old bushing has ceased to the frame...
It looks like once it get get it loose I will be able to use the heat gun to melt the old part and press it out with the floor jack.

If you don't have a vise, go get one, its hands down the most useful tool to have. The bigger the better. I have a ridgid f60, and it has been able to press in/press out anything and everything.

If you are looking to get a brand new vise, I would recommend looking into gray tools. They have very reasonably priced vises. If you are ok with getting a used vise. I know of a place that sells industrial grade vises in hamilton (vises from closed down steel factories) for damn cheap.

I had a plan to go to Brafasco to get 5/8 lag bolt, since Home Depot and Canadian Tire do not carry bigger than 1/2....If I can get the bushing off with this methid, than It should be easy to get the rest of the job done....I will have to do the trailing arm bushings, but I may have some one else do this for me, since I'm no comfirtable disconnecting rear break lines...
